F11 should make the frame fullscreen, not maximized.

Here I can't move such frames using the mouse.  IIUC mouse-dragging is
suppressed (by Windows) for maximized frames.  Fullscreen frames don't
have borders/title bars so they can't be dragged for obvious resons.

Programmatically you should be able to move any frame.  It will become
demaximized/defullscreenified in the course, I presume.
